Ruby Spirit Fighting Badge

Luo Yan had just walked into the lobby with Xiao Wu when You Chunping followed them out.

"Please wait a moment, you two!"

"These are your badges. Due to your performance in the ring today, our Great Soul Fighting Arena has officially awarded you both Ruby Spirit Fighting Badges!"

Facing the confused looks from Luo Yan and Xiao Wu, You Chunping explained while handing over the two badges.

"Many thanks!"

Luo Yan did not stand on ceremony; he handed over their Iron Spirit Fighting Badges and took the ones from You Chunping's hand.

"We look forward to your next visit!"

Seeing this, You Chunping did not say anything more and respectfully saw Luo Yan and Xiao Wu off.

By the time Luo Yan and Xiao Wu exited the Suotuo City Great Soul Fighting Arena, it was already afternoon.

After wandering around Suotuo City for a while longer, the two returned to the Rose Hotel.

He had originally planned to go to the small shop run by Flender to take Tang San's opportunity, but after considering the use of Hair Crystal, he lost much of his interest.

After all, Hair Crystal was merely a material used for crafting hidden weapons and was of no use to him at all.

It was far less valuable than the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or the black pearl from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother Luo Yan, what was the point of the Great Soul Fighting Arena we went to earlier?"

"Xiao Wu feels that the people there are all very weak; it's not even as good as sparring with Da Ming and Er Ming!"

Back at the hotel, Xiao Wu finally voiced the doubt she had been harboring in her heart.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had temporarily stopped her cultivation and was eating the dinner Luo Yan had brought back for her; hearing Xiao Wu's words, she looked over with interest as well.

She was somewhat curious about what Luo Yan had experienced today.

In the Star Luo Empire's Star Luo City, there was also a Great Soul Arena, which served as a place for children of major families to hone themselves.

"Hmm, my method of cultivation is a bit special; it requires collecting human emotions!"

Luo Yan had already prepared an excuse.

"Is that so..." Xiao Wu didn't think much of it.

Although what Luo Yan said was a bit unusual, she had heard of even more peculiar cultivation methods within the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Xiao Wu, if you're bored, then you can go out and play with Da Ming and Er Ming tomorrow. I'll go by myself!"

Luo Yan could also see that Xiao Wu had no interest in bullying the weak.

If she hadn't wanted to follow him, she probably wouldn't have even gone to the Great Soul Fighting Arena today, let alone stepped into the ring.

However, he definitely needed to go there to harvest resentment points.

With today's groundwork laid, more experts would surely come to the Great Soul Fighting Arena starting tomorrow, making it even easier to harvest resentment points.

He didn't want to waste that opportunity.

Thinking of this, he opened his attribute panel:

Host: Luo Yan
Race: Purple Thunder Flood Dragon
Cultivation Realm: Fifth-Rank Demon King (Peak)
Physical Cultivation: Tier 6 Demon Emperor (Early Stage)
Resentment Points: 9,451,777

Looking at the resentment points that had surged by over a million on the panel, Luo Yan felt very satisfied.

Starting tomorrow, he could at least see a tenfold increase; if this could be sustained, this wave would be enough for him to evolve once more!

"Brother Luo Yan, no, I want to follow you!"

Xiao Wu became a bit anxious upon hearing that Luo Yan didn't intend to bring her along.

Luo Yan came back to his senses, closed the panel, and looked at her gently, saying, "If you don't want to go, you really don't have to follow me. I'm not going to run away, anyway!"

"Or you can stay at the hotel and cultivate with Zhuqing!"

He specifically glanced at Zhu Zhuqing when he said the last sentence.

"Hmph! I don't want to! I want to follow Brother Luo Yan!" Hearing Luo Yan's words, Xiao Wu let out a cold snort and hugged Luo Yan's arm.

"Fine, fine, fine, then just follow along!"

Luo Yan felt a bit helpless.

He stopped paying attention to Xiao Wu's pouting and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, asking, "Zhuqing, how does your condition feel after a day of cultivation?"

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't slept since last night.

Aside from the time spent eating, she had basically been cultivating the entire time.

At this rate, she should be able to fully recover her state before long.

After all, the injuries sustained in the Star Dou Great Forest that day had already healed for the most part on the way here, and were only slightly aggravated during the battle against Dai Mubai yesterday.

"Hmm, I feel like I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow, and I should be able to advance further by then."

Her previous soul power was at level 27, and she should be able to break through to level 28 tomorrow.

Hearing this, Luo Yan nodded slightly; Zhu Zhuqing's condition was about what he had expected.

"Since that's the case, I'll come back early tomorrow to help you absorb the essence blood!"

"Mm."

Shrek Academy.

"Teacher! Teacher! Good news! Good news!"

Ma Hongjun shouted toward Flender's office while running.

Hearing him from inside the room, Flender spoke calmly after Ma Hongjun entered: "What kind of good news could make you so anxious?"

Ma Hongjun's temperament was very reckless.

Flender didn't actually believe that Ma Hongjun could bring him any good news.

If there were any major news, he would certainly receive it long before Ma Hongjun could pass it on.

"Teacher!"

"A message came from the Suotuo City Great Soul Fighting Arena: a powerhouse has set up a ring there. As long as someone can defeat him, they can win one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"If you can force the opponent to release their martial soul, you can also receive ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

After entering the room, Ma Hongjun was no longer in a rush; he picked up a teacup and took a sip before speaking slowly.

He had heard all this information at the entrance of the Great Soul Fighting Arena when he went back to look for You Chunping again.

Furthermore, the Great Soul Fighting Arena had even put up a sign clearly stating the challenge details, noting that anyone could step onto the stage to challenge him.

Ma Hongjun knew that his stingy teacher was a Soul Saint and might be able to take down this bounty.

"What?!"

Flender became excited the moment Ma Hongjun finished his second sentence.

Upon hearing that forcing out a martial soul would earn ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, Flender could no longer sit still.

As a profiteer, although he hadn't seen the strength of the powerhouse who set up the ring, he knew the opponent's strength was definitely not weak.

However, he still had some confidence in his own abilities.

Perhaps he couldn't defeat the opponent, but Flender felt he was one hundred percent capable of forcing out the other party's martial soul.

What he didn't know, however, was that Luo Yan and Xiao Wu didn't have martial souls at all.

Therefore, there was no such thing as forcing out a martial soul.

"Teacher, what I said is all true. There is a plaque set up outside the Great Soul Fighting Arena; if you don't believe me, you can go see for yourself!"

Seeing that Flender still seemed skeptical, Ma Hongjun continued.

Hearing this, Flender fell into deep thought.

He was wondering when it would be appropriate to go.

After a long while, Flender finally spoke: "Hongjun, you go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena tomorrow and help your teacher observe the strength of the person who set up the ring!"

"If no one manages to take this bounty tomorrow, then I will go the day after!"

Thinking of that one hundred thousand bounty, Flender's eyes kept flashing with golden light.

Hearing Flender's words, Ma Hongjun did not refuse, as he happened to want to go find You Chunping tomorrow anyway.
